ROFLMAO, DS! I think we're all having problems living with the realities of this Market. I find myself late at night sleep walking around the house mumbling the ticker symbols of my favorite stocks. And you think t2k has serious problems, LOL! Teflon

isn't it wonderful how everyone becomes so happy when msft is going up. there are many of us here, myself included, who never lost faith that mr softee would be back at these levels. i personally didn't expect this big a move till september, after labor day, but i'm sure not complaining about it coming a little early. now all we need is a visit from good ole toy soldier telling us how good novell NDS is and how msft is finished then everything will be back to normal. the redmond express just keeps chugging along. choo choo ahhh, it's great to be a msft shareholder and getting better by the day. remember folks, it's never too late to buy msft!!

Hi DS, Unload QCOM? No! It is now about tied for my number one holding with MSFT. I just want to take some profits and buying on another pullback if it occurs. Additionally, my exposure to risk has increased somewhat due to an options purchase on MSFT and one way to reduce the risk is selling the riskier stocks like Q and Amazon. It is just a matter of giving up potential big gains in Q in return for big gains in MSFT options. Both are risky but i feel MSFT call options are a sure thing---and it is a company i understand a little better than Q. In any case, both are going to remain a major part of my stock portfolio. Actually i might even try Q options if there is a pullback (just maybe). Good luck with your Q and MSFT.

OT- Isn't one of the steps to just admit it? Well here goes... I sold 10% of my position in Q last Friday at 175! d^%#, OW, OUCH.. Man I hope the other 11 steps aren't as brutal. <g> I guess on the positive side I still have my 90% <bg> Sold lots of dogs buying up that Q. <vbg> Claude (rhymes with TOAD)
